Our databases became so large that we could no longer make the backup window. We have been using the Oracle Agent with RMAN, and with MSSQL as well. We use Maestro, Veritas, and cron to schedule our RMAN backups and things work quite well. Hopefully those DBA's will see the light. ============================= Carl Stehman IT Distributed Services Team Pepco Holdings, Inc. 202-331-6619 Pager 301-765-2703 [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Ed Wilts" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07/11/2007 08:46 AM To "'Haskins, Steve'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "'Spearman, David'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "'Jimenez, Daniel'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu> cc Subject Re: [Veritas-bu] MS SQL 2005 Backups Ditto. We bought the agents for both Oracle and MS SQL and they still won't use them. It's caused lots of grief in the past - all issues that are addressed by the agents - but the DBAs don't want to budge. It's their butts on the line if the databases have recovery issues though. .../Ed -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I GoodSearch for Bundles Of Love: http://www.goodsearch.com/?charityid=821118 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Haskins, Steve Sent: Tuesday, July 10, 2007 1:26 PM To: Spearman, David; Jimenez, Daniel; veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] MS SQL 2005 Backups Same here along with trans logs. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Spearman, David Sent: Tuesday, July 10, 2007 10:50 AM To: Jimenez, Daniel; veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] MS SQL 2005 Backups Daniel, Our DBA's won't touch the Veritas solution for MS-SQL or Oracle. They are firm believers in exporting the database(s) to flat files and backing those up. Don't ask, I don't know why. Suffice to say they are the DBA's and we just do as we are told.

Can anyone through their experiences give me their solution and why they felt it was the best way to do this? I know there is the Veritas way and that may be the best way of doing these backups but I would like to hear some alternative ways that may be better than using the Veritas solution, thanks.
